Full Plate

Last weekend I got to the Farmer's Market just in time to get some Soul Food. I usually get enough for just one meal but when I ordered it "to go" I got a huge portion. Definitely enough for two meals, but for the same price. I'm not quite sure how that all worked out but I was happy. I picked Sweet Potatoes, Barbecue Tofu, and Mustard greens over rice from their selection. The barbecue tofu was so good I tried to make it myself at home a couple days later.

As I said I tried to replicate the tofu that I got at the market and it was quite good but not quite as good. I should have marinated it longer. I chose to make a couple side dishes with it: roasted potatoes and sesame roasted asparagus. It was all really amazing. Especially the asparagus!

-Preheat oven to 475 F-Toss all ingredients in a large bowl and lay mixture, in a single layer, on a lightly greased baking sheet-Bake for 20-30 minutes until brown and crispy, stirring or flipping ever so often

Some people just prefer to use potatoes, oil, salt, and pepper, which it great too if you don't have all the spices.

I think I'm going to try the sesame asparagus because that sounds really good. My Mom actually started using sesame oil on veggies cooked on the bbq a couple of years ago, and they are so yummy. You can put the sesame oil/seeds on yellow squash, zucchini, mushrooms, or really anything and it gives such a great taste.
